Is baby's lip trembling a symptom of cerebral palsy?

For newborns, if parents find that their child's lips are trembling, this is caused by the child's imperfect nervous development system. We know that the child's nervous system is not fully developed after birth. If abnormal convulsions occur, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. This phenomenon may also be caused by cerebral palsy, so we should remain vigilant and avoid this situation.

6 signs of cerebral palsy in babies

Cerebral palsy generally has no obvious symptoms in the neonatal period and is not easily discovered by new parents, but some signs can be found if you pay close attention. These early signs can help identify whether your baby has cerebral palsy, so pay more attention.

Signal one, can't suck. After birth, the baby cannot suck or sucks weakly, is unwilling to feed or cries while feeding, and has difficulty swallowing and is prone to choking on milk.

Signal two: crying is weak. The baby's cry is weak or continues to cry for unknown reasons.

Signal three: lack of exercise. The baby is sedentary, very quiet, and has few spontaneous movements.

Signal four: general weakness. Under normal circumstances, the human body has a certain amount of muscle tension to maintain body stability even when asleep, but babies with cerebral palsy are always soft and weak all over.

Signal five, suddenly straighten up. Sometimes the body will suddenly jump up, with the head tilted to one side and the lower limbs stiff or bent and stretched in an asymmetrical manner.

Signal six: easily frightened. Easily startled by noise or change in position.

1. Prevention of cerebral palsy before birth

Actively carry out early prenatal diagnosis and fetal prediction, carry out publicity and education on eugenics and good parenting, improve the health of pregnant women, and prevent congenital diseases.

2. Pregnant women should pay attention

Avoid viral infections such as influenza, rubella, etc. Especially during the 10th to 18th week of pregnancy, when the fetal nervous system develops rapidly, more attention should be paid to preventing infection.

3. No smoking or drinking

Avoid exposure to toxic and harmful substances and radiation, do not do too many ultrasound examinations, and it is best not to watch TV.

4. Prevention of cerebral palsy during birth

An important cause of cerebral palsy is fetal asphyxia and intracranial hemorrhage during delivery, so premature birth and difficult labor should be prevented. Proper treatment of difficult-to-deliver fetuses is a crucial step in preventing cerebral palsy.

5. Prevent other diseases from causing cerebral palsy

Once neonatal asphyxia, intracranial hemorrhage and other diseases occur, active treatment should be carried out to reduce damage to the newborn. Brain infection, cerebrovascular disease, brain trauma, etc. can all cause acquired paralysis: Therefore, strengthening preventive measures and preventing the occurrence of the above-mentioned diseases is the fundamental way to prevent acquired cerebral palsy. If the above situation occurs, you should be hospitalized for treatment immediately.
